CONDITION EVALUATION OF CONCRETE BRIDGES RELATIVE TO REINFORCEMENT CORROSION. VOLUME 1: STATE OF THE ART OF EXISTING METHODS

E J Gannon, P D Cady

Abstract

This volume reviews and summarizes the existing methods and equipment for evaluating the condition of concrete bridge components. It discusses methods for detection of damage resulting from corrosion of steel in concrete, poor quality or deteriorated concrete, and damages to prestressed/posttensioned tendons embedded in concrete. The discussion of each method includes any experiences with the method/procedure as reported in available literature sources and in interviews with state and provincial department of transportation inspection and maintenance personnel.
